The Report button generates a preview of a formatted report suitable for printing. In preview mode you can select and configure the printer and print the report.
Note: A printer must be installed on your computer and a default printer selected in order to use the Preview and Print functions (a printer driver is used to render the report for previewing). If you do not have a printer installed or a default printer selected an error message will inform you. To solve this we recommend that you install the free open source PDFCreator virtual printer which will allow you to Preview and Print reports in Complete Time Tracking and to print any document from any Windows application to a PDF file. You can download PDFCreator from the following web page.
